was it a snap on one or one of them ones of ebay?
what diagnostic socket does your car have? OBD1 or the 32 way brown plug?

there is a way to read the codes without any code reader with that plug, ill have a look in the book at work, you can buy a code reader for about £20 from halfrauds but it aint worth it really
oh and by the way, the snap on scanner is utter shite, i dont think ive seen it work on one car yet

I had this, and I mean it was a proper pug / cit diiagnostic machine....... it cocks everything up! and you wonder why you have electrical probs lol
Replacement ECU
or if your lucky a spare one like me
It's over boosting, as James said....... good lad you! ( WCS ) Wastegate Control Solinoid
Common fault... cheap fix though
honest.... nah its not that much and well worth it !
Your lucky most people that are buying tubs are ending up with siezed tubs !

Well 'urry up and be right about how to read codes without a reader then
Dammit you can't catch my attention like that then forget about it
